The death of Officer Dennis Guerra is indeed a tragedy for his wife, four children and the NYPD.

This never should have happened, but it did, all due to the arrogance and senseless act of a 16-year-old boy who was bored and decided to set a mattress on fire. This young man should be charged with murder and tried as an adult.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Guerra family, as well for a speedy recovery for his partner ,who was also injured in that fire.
